A Joint Program Sponsored by the Emory College Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology Program (NBB) and the Department of Neurology of the Emory School of Medicine
Students must be available Monday through Friday for morning clinical rounds, afternoon classroom meetings and special evening presentations.
Course /Program description: Much more than a shadowing program, MD-SEE offers genuine clinical
experience, classroom guidance on presentations, and a vigorous look at current issues and practices in medicine. This course will cover variable topics of special interest in the field of Clinical Neurology. Undergraduates will have an opportunity to correlate experience with actual patients with the science behind the diagnosis. During their time in the clinics, students will act as a patient assistant, helping patients who may have partial paralysis or loss of sensation. They will learn the basics of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and will record patients history and neurological findings in compliance with HIPAA while observing real-life patient examinations. Students then will choose a neurology patient each week on whom to conduct research and will present the case to peers in a HIPAA-compliant manner. Each student will be assigned a Clinical Neurology faculty mentor who will help develop the writing and poster projects. Toward the end of the six-week course, students will select the one de-identified patient encountered that embodied their greatest interest and will formally present the case in the format of a scientific meeting. Each student will observe and practice the techniques of both platform and poster presentations. Publication of student work will be encouraged, coauthored by the faculty mentor.
Co- and extra-curricular activities: Likely activities to be included within the six-week program may include
tours of Imaging, Rehabilitation and Sleep Centers; tours of area hospital Yerkes Primate Center and the CDC; panel discussions with Emory School of Medicine faculty and students; overview discussion of the MCAT; and evening film screenings and lectures.
Pre-requisites: Introductory Biology, Human Physiology and/or an Introductory Neuroscience course. Rising
juniors and seniors preferred
